</div>Educational systems globally face disruption from climate events, pandemics, geopolitical conflict, and economic instability. Immersive learning technologies present both opportunities and risks: opportunities to maintain learning continuity when physical infrastructure is unavailable, and risks of creating single points of failure when digital infrastructure itself is disrupted or when resilient design has been sacrificed for efficiency.

Key Drivers / Contributing Conditions:

- COVID-19 legacy and ongoing epidemic risk
- Climate-driven school and university disruption
- Infrastructure fragility in conflict and crisis zones
- Power and connectivity inequality intensified during disruption events

Educational and Design Implications:

- Offline-capable and low-bandwidth immersive learning design
- Redundant infrastructure planning for virtual campuses
- Research on XR for crisis education and emergency learning continuity

Tensions Carried Forward to Part II:

- How should iLRN balance digital-first immersive learning with the resilience requirements of offline access?
- When does virtual continuity substitute adequately for physical presence and when does it fail?
